Keys cut.
Locks fixed.
Sorted.
Key-Wee Lock & Repair is Invercargill’s family owned lock and key shop, serving Southland for over 20 years. From everyday house keys to car remotes and full lock installations, prompt service is the whole point.
What we do
Lock repair to full installation
A licensed key cutting business with the tools, blanks and patience to handle the jobs that make other counters shake their heads.
Key cutting
House keys, padlock keys and the less common blanks other shops turn away. Cut and filed by hand until they turn smoothly, while you wait where we can.
Car keys & remotes
Remote buttons stopped working or the casing has fallen apart? We diagnose, repair and source replacement casings to order, so you keep your original key.
Lock repair
Sticky, seized or damaged locks brought back to life. Bring the lock into the shop, or talk to us about sorting it where it sits.
Lock installation
From a single replacement lock to a full installation, fitted properly the first time. Honest advice on what your doors actually need.
On site work
Some jobs cannot come to the counter. We fix locks and doors at your home, with the same prompt, tidy service the shop is known for.
Not sure what you need?
Bring it in. Whatever the lock or key, we’ll take a look and give you a straight answer.
Give us a ringCar keys & remotes
Keep your original key. We’ll fix it.
Broken remote casings, worn buttons, keys that no longer turn: most of them can be repaired for far less than a brand new key. When a part is needed, we track down the right casing and have it delivered to the shop for you.
“All the other places I’ve asked have suggested to make a new key themselves. Pretty much just finding ways to get more money. However Keywee Locks have found a place online to get a new casing for my key and within 4 days have been delivered to their store.”

Reviews
Word gets around
“Amazing company. Called on a Saturday morning and they were fast, friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend their service.”
“These guys know their stuff. I went in and asked about one problem and found that I was totally wrong, that said they were able to fix said problems and now my daughter can lock and unlock her car with confidence. 10/10 I will be returning to these guys for anything lock related.”
“Exceptional service, fixed my doors at my house with prompt and timely service. Hard to find better than this highly recommended business.”
“Less common key cut & filed well, worked perfectly.”
“Amazing service! I lost the back part of my remote car key and have been looking for a place to get it fixed. All the other places I've asked have suggested to make a new key themselves. Pretty much just finding ways to get more money. However Keywee Locks have found a place online to get a new casing for my key and within 4 days have been delivered to their store. After 5 months I finally got my key fixed. This place is definitely a 5-star for me.”
